| 151-0125-00L | Hydrodynamics and Cavitation | 4 credits | 3G | O. Supponen | |
| Abstract | This course builds on the foundations of fluid dynamics to describe hydrodynamic flows, with a focus on interfacial and surface tension effects, lubrication and surface waves, and provides an introduction to cavitation: theory, measurement techniques, and industrial and medical applications. | ||||
| Objective | The main learning objectives of this course are: 1. Identify and describe dominant effects in liquid fluid flows through physical modelling. 2. Explain tension, nucleation and phase-change in liquids. 3. Describe hydrodynamic cavitation and its consequences in physical terms. 4. Recognise experimental techniques and industrial and medical applications for cavitation. | ||||
| Content | The course gives an overview on the following topics: hydrostatics, surface tension effects and capillarity, lubrication theory, surface waves, water hammer, tension in liquids, phase change. Cavitation: single bubbles (nucleation, dynamics, collapse), cavitating flows (attached, cloud, vortex cavitation). Industrial and medical applications, and measurement techniques. | ||||
